BiotaNB

New Brunswick New Brunswick Museum Centre for Biodiversity Research

The New Brunswick Museum is supporting a 20-year biological inventory project (BiotaNB) in 10 of the largest protected natural areas in the province, ranging in size from 3 000 to 26 000 hectares. The museum's collections provide data and assure a repository for the collected specimens. Now halfway through the project, which continues until 2028, 50 to 70 scientists and others, participate annually in an intense 14-day BioBlitz that has generated 39 peer-reviewed publications. In 2017, BiotaNB was one of the official initiatives of Bioblitz Canada 150. The New Brunswick Museum is happy to be one of the finalists for the 2018 Nature Inspiration Awards from the Canadian Museum of Nature, for the NBM’s BiotaNB project. Additional information.

This has been active since June 2009 and will continue until August 2028.

About

The New Brunswick Environmental Network (NBEN), established in 1991, is a communication network that links together over a 100 non-profit environmental organizations.

The role of the NBEN is to improve communication and co-operation among environmental groups and between these groups, government and other sectors. The NBEN provides educational opportunities for its member and associate groups and encourages the growth of the environmental movement in New Brunswick. The NBEN is not an advocacy group and does not take positions on any issue.
